💚 #aurora #auroraborealis
A small portion of green aurora, shaped vaguely like a heart, sits in front of numerous stars. To the right is a large section of bright pink/red aurora.

It's not the most elegant solution I've had, but I wanted to make sure I was preserving the placeholder characters from left to right (with added tests to confirm).

A bird sits on a tree branch screaming into the void, perhaps realizing that the work week begins tomorrow. That's probably not why it's screaming, but I don't know for certain.

Are you cool like me (and @hollypelesky.bsky.social 👋) or are you not at OPL's Book Bash?

She's almost there. She almost gets it.
"How we care for our most vulnerable reveals what we believe about ourselves. I’m just one mother, and David is just one child. But this affects your neighbors. This affects you. At one point or another most of us will lose our independence, health, rationality and will. Eventually we will rely wholly on someone else to care for us. Dependence, weakness, need of others: These are features, not bugs, of the human experience."
